I mean to show a similar UI, so something for the panel of styles and formats:

---------------------
|Heading 1        |▼|
---------------------

For the same reason, I do not understand why it should be different. The
dropdown list is a short list of paragraph stilys to use and select "More
styles ..." open sidebar with the full list of styles. In the arrow on the
right side can be added to the options actually appear in the context menu.

> The suggested single-click activation makes the indicator obsolete

I imagined that by overlaying the pointer over the selections, they were going
highlighting (several menus operate similarly).

I do not think so, for that reason I opened a new improvement report first.
